Because I Said Forever: Embracing Hope in an Imperfect Marriage

by Heather Harpham Kopp, Debbie Kalmbach

A recent study indicates that Christian marriages don't fail as often as secular marriages -- they fail more! Debbie Kalmbach, the wife of a recovering alcoholic, understands the longing to leave but offers Christian wives solid reasons to stay in a difficult marriage. This is not a "how to save your marriage" but more a guidebook for wives on how to save their ability to love, to honor their commitment to their husbands, and to maintain their faith in God while in marriages that may never live up to their dreams. Debbie tackles tough questions such as "Why won't he go to counseling?" "Can I change him?" and "What do I do when I don't feel in love anymore?" with a warm, compassionate approach sure to encourage and inspire every struggling wife.

This book is a must-read for any woman in a hard, imperfect marriage. Deb Kalmbach is the primary author and a very gracious woman who is willing to talk to women struggling. This is a beautiful gift to someone who has no hope left.
